So yeah, I'm giving Barrack Obama the chance to fall flat on his face as president. The results can't be any worse than what Bush has wrought.


Why the fvck not?

STC, I have to agree with you here. I cannot, in all good conscience, lob a vote in Hillary's direction since I do not believe her to be good or honorable (her not being a man is immaterial). I'm leaning very heavily in Obama's direction.

My questions is, if Obama lands the nomination, who will land on the ticket as veep. Would an Obama/Edwards ticket be the go?

Her lack of a penis is a cause for concern for me for one very big reason:


Hillary will feel the need to show that she is as tough as any man. Imagine insecure little Republican gay boyz playing war games and multiply by 3....that'll be Hillary.

I agree with Sac. I think she's not balanced, and by that I don't mean a'la Brittney Spears but rather that she's going to spend a lot of time and effort showing she's got bigger cajones than the other players, and all the while it may be a situation that would benefit from a gentler, more diplomatic approach. I also suspect she's got a few grudges going that would impair her abilities to set aside the past and move forward. We need to start fresh, if that is at all possible. I'd love to see a viable female candidate, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen this time around.

Yeah, and i want a female candidate - hell, a female president - with the cajones to say that the boys' way of doing things is antiquated, outdated, and just plain wrong. Let's get in touch with our feminine side, America.




And maybe gently, yet firmly, flick the bean while we're at it?

An Obama/Richardson ticket would make me happy. (While a Richardson/Obama ticket would have made me positively ecstatic!)

Nancy Pelosi!
